Behold the MVT empire |
Description: |
Mt Vernon Terminal RR operates a very small section of track left from an Interurban operation that used to run north to Bellingham. This is its self-described 'roundhouse' located under Interstate 5 in its namesake town. Ex-Navy Baldwin V01000 505 was the normal power at this time and the Plymouth was a backup. The engine shed has since been replaced with another structure at the same location that holds the road's current power, an EMD SW9. |

Hanging out at the roundhouse |
Description: |
The Mt Vernon Terminal RR had what they called a roundhouse situated under Interstate 5 in town. The small structure was built to hold a pair of four-wheeled Plymouth-sized critters. When the road bought a former Navy Baldwin VO1000 it had to sit outside until they could build a bigger building. |

New Home for the Baldwin |
Description: |
Mount Vernon Terminal RR bought a Baldwin VO1000 from the Navy in the mid-80s to replace its tiny Plymouths. The old engine house on the left (more of a shack) wasn't big enough for the 'new power' so they built a new one next to it and under Interstate 5. This is the view about half-way though construction. |
